2001–2009 Spyker C8 Laviolette Specs & Performance

The Spyker C8 Laviolette is an exclusive sports coupe distinguished by its low profile, sculpted bodywork, and focused two-seat layout. Its rear-mid-engine configuration gives it a purposeful sports-car architecture, while double-wishbone suspension at both ends supports its performance-oriented character. With only 3.7 cubic feet of luggage space, the Laviolette prioritizes driving engagement over everyday practicality. Its rear-wheel-drive layout and naturally aspirated V8 give it the traditional mechanical character of a focused, high-performance coupe.

For the 2001–2009 model range, the C8 Laviolette uses a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre Audi V8 producing 395 hp at 6,800 rpm and 354 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 186 mph and 0–60 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds. Combined fuel economy is rated at 17.7 mpg, with a stated driving range of 373 miles and a curb weight of 2,866 lbs.
